Tennis Australia Confirms Nick Kyrgios for Australian Open’s 1 Point Slam on Jan. 14
The one-point showcase serves as his tune-up before a hoped-for Australian Open return that likely requires a wildcard.
Overview
- Kyrgios will take the court at Rod Laver Arena in the 1 Point Slam Driven by Kia on Wednesday 14 January.
- The event features 48 entrants from pros to amateurs in a one-point knockout for a $1 million winner’s prize.
- If an amateur wins, Tennis Australia will donate $1 million to the Australian Tennis Foundation, and Kia will award an EV3 to the last amateur standing.
- Opening Week at Rod Laver Arena also includes Zverev vs Musetti on 13 January, Alcaraz vs de Minaur on 15 January, and Sinner vs Auger-Aliassime on 16 January.
- Kyrgios has played only five matches in 2025, is ranked around No. 668, is slated for exhibitions including a Sabalenka matchup and Kooyong, and would need a wildcard for the main draw.
